Southampton 3/4 to beat Brighton in Wednesday’s Premier League encounter

Competition: Premier League

Market: Southampton to beat Brighton

Odds: 3/4 @ Bet365

The Premier League continues on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week as the league games come thick and fast following a weekend of FA Cup action. The fans will want to see their favourite teams return to action by picking up all three points, and with this in mind, Southampton host Brighton on Wednesday.

Southampton have been very poor this season and they are in need of a run of wins to escape the danger they have found themselves in. After 24 games they have won four, drawn 10 and lost 10, scoring 24 goals and conceding 35 times. In their last five games they have drawn three times and lost twice, which has seen them onto 22 points. Their current points tally means they are a point short of survival and the fans will be incredibly concerned by their current situation, with the side currently sitting in the relegation zone.

Brighton have also been struggling this season and they will be desperate to pick up three points to climb up the table. After 24 matches they have won five, drawn eight and lost 11, while they have scored 17 goals and conceded 33 times. In their last five they have drawn twice and lost three games, which has seen them onto 23 points for the season so far. After such a promising start to the season, the away side know they will now need to dig in and grind out the results if they want to survive this year.
